EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING by Paul Cooper
This book examines how teachers and students actually go about their classroom business. It carefully avoids the assumptions of policy-makers and theorists about what ought to be happening and focuses on what is happening. In doing so, Cooper and McIntyre offer: * a detailed look at how teachers are responding to the National Curriculum * a unique insight into secondary school students as learners * a grounded analysis of teaching and learning strategies drawing on the psychological theories of Bruner and Vygotsky The book follows on from Donald McIntyre's previous book Making Sense of Teaching and will be of interest to student teachers, teachers studying for advanced degrees and academics involved in teacher education.
"Presentation, development and organisation are exemplaryThis is an excellent study. As the teachers' craft in the study mightserve as a model for young student-teachers, so the researchers' craft exemplified in this text serves as a model of its kind for any youngresearchers." - British Educational Research Journal "The robustness of the methodology is beyond doubt, the quality of the pupil contribution to the data gathered is impressive and the utility of the authors' insights for teacher initial and continuing education is a pleasure to acknowledge." - Education in the North
